"Very well. I'll be waiting for the good news." Ezra hung up the phone.
Trevor immediately summoned everyone in the office for a meeting.
Soon, Ezra called Kathleen and informed her, "I did as you instructed. Trevor took the bait as expected."
"That's great. Thank you," she said placidly.
"You saved my life without asking for a reward. It's the least I can do for you. However, a new energy car costs a hundred thousand. I've ordered five hundred thousand units in total. It's a considerable amount of money. Are you sure you want to make the full payment?"
"How would the fish take the bait if it wasn't tempting enough? Don't worry. I have done my research. His factory isn't that big. They are bound to encounter problems if they have to produce five hundred thousand cars within a month. I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't complete the
order on time."
After pondering it for a moment, Ezra asked, "What if he manages to pull it off?"
Kathleen sneered. "Trust me. He won't be able to do so."
Feeling curious, he probed again, "Do you have other plans?"
"I'm not going to tell you. You'll find out when you watch the news." She yawned lazily before adding, "I'll leave you to your work. Bye."
"All right." The man nodded.
Kathleen ended the call.
Meanwhile, Trevor presided over the meeting in Hoover Group. "We have to produce five hundred thousand units within a month!"
The vice-president spoke out. "Mr. Hoover, it's already our limit to produce a hundred thousand units per month. It's simply impossible for us to produce that much within that time frame."
"Why is our production volume so low? Didn't I tell you guys before that we must increase our production if we want to take over the market for new energy vehicles? We can't afford to rest on our laurels and let Macari Group surpass us!" Trevor's face dimmed.
All the employees exchanged glances upon hearing his ambitious declaration.
Even though Samuel was no longer there, Macari Group was still a strong competitor in the market. The company's current hardship was merely a blip.
They knew that Macari Group would still be the strongest by the time the company recovered from the slump.
"Are you guys doubting me? Don't you know who was the one who poached this team?" Trevor snapped.
He was the person who poached this team from Macari Group.
The person in charge of this team, Ronald Lytcott, was personally contacted by Trevor.
Of course, Trevor had to triple the salary Ronald received while working for Macari Group.
Thus, Trevor was anxious to recover the cost.
"Even so, we still have to work overtime, which means some of the parts suppliers might have to work overtime too. Some manufacturers may not be as efficient."
"If that's the case, find more manufacturers. Do you all still need me to teach you how to solve these problems?"
The others did not dare to retort or question Trevor when he had set his mind on something.
Besides, they could see that Trevor was desperate to make money from this lucrative order.
When Kathleen walked out of the elevator after work, she instantly saw Richard.
He had become very lean in those three months she had not seen him.
Walking over, the man spoke in a raspy voice. "Kathleen, there's something I want to ask you."
"Save your breath, Richard. I won't tell you where Gemma is buried. You don't deserve to pay your respects to her," she stated indifferently.
Richard's eyes became bloodshot. "Why?"
"Why? Richard Zimmer, Gemma waited for you for seven years, wasting the prime of her life during those years. Miley is merely your mentor's daughter. Sure, you can take care of her. However, why must you turn it into a romantic relationship? Now, who's the disgusting one?"
Hearing that, Richard froze on the spot.
"I didn't say much in the past since you're friends with Samuel. Yet, you still haven't come to your senses after these three months. I won't let you sully Gemma's good name anymore. Don't bother me ever again. I won't tell you the location!" Kathleen warned sternly.
